Luwasa is proud to offer our greenroof initiative to clients who require services in formulating, planning, contructing and maintening green roofs. We have successfully undertaken green roof projects that utilises our Seramis Planting System as the main planting medium/substrate. Our team leader in green roof formulation and implementation currently is heavily involved in the green roof industry, he teaches green roof subjects at Swinburne University and frequently attends green roof conferences all over the world. More About Green Roof Green roofs can provide a wide range of public and private benefits, including significantlyreduced fossil energy use, reduced peak runoff of roof water, aestheticallypleasing cityscapes, longer roof life, and reduce ?heat island effects? ofcities. Green roofs canprovide building owners with a new revenue stream, plus reduction of organicmatter going to landfill, and reduced air pollution through less use of dieselfuel in cities. Non-food green roofsystems may be modular, with drainage layers, filter cloth, growing media andplants already prepared in movable, interlocking grids, or, each component ofthe system may be installed separately. Green roofdevelopment involves the creation of ?contained? green space on top of astructure. This green space could be below, at or above ground level, but inall cases the plants are not planted in the ?ground? but in special compost.
